I am in the process of trying to get a PCOS diagnosis and in the mean time I am trying to deal with my major depression. I was placed on Efexxor , Wellbutrin and Invega to help. I would just really like to be able to chat with someone or some people that know what I am going through. Maybe we can help cheer each other up on the rough days and celebrate the good ones.
Lisa, i've battled major depression, anxiety and most recently bipolar. My DBF works full time and i'm home alone all day, just me and the cat. I'm online all day but I stay invisible because i'm paranoid of stalkers (exes) and sometimes I just don't feel like talking. But I need friends, I know so I guess if you wanna talk i'm here.
Hi Carrie, thanks for responding to my post. We can definitely be each pen pals and maybe help cheer each other up. I think it's always easier to say things to people that you have never met, so if you would like to get anything off your chest just let it out and I will do the same. Hope your day is going well. It's good to meet another cat lover, I now have 6 because one of the 2 adult cats had kittens 6 weeks ago. They are SOOO adorable.
I tried to PM you but apparently I can't PM until my post count is 30 :-(

don't worry, I can't PM yet either. And yes, I love my kitty. I don't know how to direct you to my album on here but if you know where it is you can see pics of her as well as Matt and me. Forgive the fuzziness, most were taken by cell phone.
I am also on Effexor and Wellbutrin XL for what started out as post partum depression, but is now labeled bipolar type II.
I work nights, so I'm not on during the days, but I'd love to keep in touch and share experiences.

I was able to view your album and those are some great pictures. I don't think they are blurry at all. Hope I was looking at the right pictures, lol. How is everything going?

Hi J, Nice to meet an Effexor and Wellbutrin XL buddy. Let's do keep in touch and definitely share our experiences. Is bipolar type II the less severe type? Sorry not too familiar with bipolar, which I think I am by the way but my therapist labeled it as just mild depression. Although I told her I had constant highs and lows, this is why I am searching now for a new therapist who actually listens.

gotta say it was a rough weekend. I went back to my home town to visit, and had a run in with a former friend turned evil enemy. Long story short, I won't be returning to that town and he took advantage of anther msg board we use to post a topless photo of me (that were taken 4+ years ago in the middle of my drug addiction and you can tell i'm messed up in the pic) surrounded by hippos saying "GO BACK TO AFRICA *****!" and when DBF (who is a moderator for the board) tried to take the posts down and ban him he threatened to continue to make new names and post it as well as email it to every person we know.
Needless to say, i've spent a good part of the last 24 hours in tears. I hate it because i've worked so hard to put that part of my life behind me and then things like this happen. People I see every day read that board and will see that. And most of them aready have a messed up opinion of me because 1)I was a needle junkie 2)i'm mentally unstable and they don't understand why i'm anti social at times or why i'm depressed. They think i'm to lazy to get a job and i'm just mooching off Matt.

Hi nice to meet you I know how it is when you move somewhere and at first have no friends, it can be pretty lonesome. Well now you have an internet friend (we'll pretend I live in GA, lol). I see your count down until your BF comes back from Iraq, I hope the time flies by for you and he's home in no time. I understand about the meds and the icky feeling. My friend is unable to take any meds because she has bad reactions to them. I guess I'm lucky (or not depending on how you look at it) in that I pretty much can take anything without a reaction. I'm surprised that the herbal stuff had side effects, I thought because they are naturally there wouldn't be any. What kind did you use?

Oh No Carrie! I am so sorry you are going through that. That is the last thing you need right now is some idiot tormenting you and your DBF. I know this is easy to say and not easy to do but you have to try and not let it get you too down. That is exactly what this person wants is to upset you and have you freak out over it. As you said you worked hard to put that part of your life behind you and you just need to be proud of yourself for that. Also if the people that read the board and you see every day don't recognize the effort you have put into changing your life, then they don't deserve to be a part of your life. That's just my humble opinion and again I know it's easy to say don't let it get to you. Just know you have someone who is thinking positive thoughts about you.

We've actually talked about a civil suit against the guy for slander and another against the webmaster for allowing it to stay up as long as it did. Thankfully another moderator was able to take it down and the guy didn't fight it then. I don't realy want to go after the webmaster. He's a mostly good guy and I honestly don't believe he's been on the board at al for months. I will be informing him that if this person isn't banned then I will make it a legal matter. It isn't the first time this guy has attacked me like this, and I know i'm not the only one.
Good!I hate when ex friends do that.UGH i just hate ex friends! I'm sure things will get resolved and they will get what they deserve! Thats awesome that you have B**ls to do it too! Haha me id probably just delete my username and hide.Takes some extreme courage!! Im proud of ya!

Yeah all i do is work and sit at home in pain!Theres pretty much no room there to make friends! Hello new friend! Well thats a count down until hes out of the army he gets home November 26th i miss him so much! Ugh i was mad yesterday because of my appointment with the gyno and he was extremely rude saying i need diet and exercise like i haven't heard it before needless to say i skipped my met and i felt like poop.They want me to try BCPs because i have a huge cyst and what they think is endo connecting my ovary to my uterus.I've been on BCPs for like 3 years so im iffy about it(before i stopped).I just want to some relief!What i tried was something called Kanna,its what they put in anxiety pills.All i did was take the a little of the powder within seconds my eyelid swelled up.I also have glaucoma so that was probably part of it.Im scared to try anything now because that is also a ssri.I've tried Prozac & Celexa but Prozac made me EXTREMELY moody and celexa made me feel numb.I didn't feel like myself,i just can't wait till my baby is home he's all the anti-depressants i need!

*sigh* well after doing research we could sue the guy through the web master, but there's no way for us to afford all the legal fees. And even if we won, the guy literally has nothing. He totaled his car in his 3rd DUI last year, lost his job, his car and his home. He's living off his family. That's why he had all the time in the world to troll the internet a prey on innocent people.
I've never felt so much hate in my life for someone. Not even the guy that raped me. I just don't understand why this stuff keeps happening to me. No one up here will even talk to me anymore.
Looking for a friend
